AWESOME GIVEAWAY: Two Tickets to How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year since the hit revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying opened on Broadway (and a year since we held a ticket giveaway for the show). Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe has vacated his role as J. Pierrepont Finch for bigger and better things (an upcoming creepy looking motion picture it seems) and teeny-bopper heartthrob Nick Jonas has taken over the reins of the lead part, much to the excitement of thirteen-year-olds everywhere.

Rounding out the rest of the cast is Beau Bridges as J. B. Biggley and Rose Hemingway as Rosemary Pilkington. Michael Urie, of Ugly Betty fame, plays the scheming Bud Frump, and Anderson Cooper still narrates (prerecorded unfortunately).

All my readers are in luck! I'm giving away another pair of tickets to see How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying on Broadway!

I'm dying to see the show because a) I love the show itself, saw it 5 times with Dan Radcliffe!! and b) I'm extreeeemely curious to see Nick Jonas' take on Finch, and I adore Michael Urie so also really wanna see his Frump! I have a lot of friends who want to see the show though, so I'd have to contemplate which one to bring, lol.

Seeing this show would mean a lot to me. I have been a Jonas Brothers fan for five years now and when I say they have saved my life, i'm not kidding. They have gotten me through everything and been there when no one else was, and Nick has always been the most inspiring to me. There are some quotes of his alone that get me through tough times, forget his amazing solo music, the Jonas Brothers music, and everything else. I know how important this show is to him and not being able to see him in Les Mis or Hairspray was heartbreaking to me, so this would mean a lot. I'm just a huge fan dying to see him do something he loves and I know he's going to be amazing. As for who I'd bring.. it would completely depend on which show it was, when it fell, etc. It'd either be a friend or my mom who is also dying to see the show. Sorry the comment was so long but its all true! :)

I RT'd your tweet, I know i'm just linking you to your original tweet right now but it shows the retweets at the bottom and my username is @oxshilo https://twitter.com/#!/Yaelleah/status/164013529001771009

I saw H2B with Dan and Darren. I'd be such a bad fan of the show if I didn't see Nick, too! I love everything about this show, from the music to the lyrics, from the dancing to the hilarious elevator scene. I'll be bringing my friend Chelsea who is the only person I know who will appreciate Nick's voice as much as me!

I just followed your blog and your twitter :) My twitter is @biebergotthis.

I really want to see How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying on Broadway! If I do win, this will be my first time watching a Broadway show. It will be a great to experience this :) But i'm mostly doing this for my friend, who i will be taking if I win. My friend is a HUGE fan of Broadway and Nick Jonas. If I win, this will be her first time also to a Broadway show. It will be a dream for my friend and me if we get to see Nick Jonas on Broadway :) Thank you <3

I am a huge fan of theater, but not so much nick jonas until i saw some clips from playbill.com it virtually stunned me i really wanna see this performance as me and my brother wanna see the potential talent that is nick jonas.

I would love to see the show, because it has one of the best soundtracks ever written in musical theatre. I have wanted to see this show for over ten years now, but never got to. I was a theatre major in college and would really love the opportunity to see such an amazing show done at such a high caliber as Broadway. If I won, I would bring my friend Meg with me, who is currently a theatre major at my alma mater and one of my closest friends. She is also a huge fan of the show and has never seen it. We are both huge fans of both Michael Urie and Nick Jonas and would love the chance to see them shine in such a classic and fantastic production.

I really want to see this show and I hope I win tickets because I'm a broke college student, and my parents simply cannot afford to buy me tickets. I've been a huge fan of the Jonas Brothers for the past seven years, since I was 11. I'm 18 now and I'm still a big fan. Nick Jonas is my favorite, and it's been wonderful seeing his journey and how he's taken on different projects and matured throughout the years. Being able to see him on Broadway would mean a lot to me because I feel a very personal connection to Nick.

If I won the tickets, I'd take my mom with me, because she has never seen a Broadway show, and she doesn't experience much that New York City has to offer since she's so busy working and taking care of the household and my younger brother. I think taking her to see a Broadway play would open up a whole other world for her, and she'd be able to understand why I like musicals so much.

I want to see How to Succeed because I am a huge Nick Jonas fan, and I would love to go to New York! I have never been to NYC before, and I think the perfect time to go would be when Nick Jonas will be on Broadway. I truly appreciate everything Nick has done, and I think he is so inspiring. I really want the opportunity to see him as a completely different type of performer.

I would bring my mom to see the show with me because she has never been to New York either and I think she would love to see a professionally done musical.

I want to see H2$ in order to take my daughter, who I would do anything for! She is A HUGE Nick Jonas fan and also the Stage Manager for her high school's theater department, but has never seen a REAL BROADWAY show before! It is her dream to do so and has been begging me to go ever since Nick made the announcement. My husband basically has said, "no", the trip is too expensive (we live in Birmingham, Alabama), unless we can get free tickets somehow. Since she wants to major in theater production this would be an absolute dream come true for her! Thanks so much for your consideration!

I tweeted about your blog/contest:Awesome in NY is giving away tix to H2$! http://awesomeinnewyork.blogspot.com/2012/01/awesome-giveaway-two-tickets-to-how-to.html?showComment=1327959762249#c6204560761885720633

I am following your blog, luckily I already have an account as I run a few blogs of my own…

I have been wanting to see a play on Broadway for years unfortunately for me is not the easiest way to get to because I am disabled, I would like to go with one of my parents probably my dad says he's been practically everywhere and was in New York for a trip sometime when he was single… I love Nick and really want to wear them as he takes on this endeavor in his career I think I think How to Succeed from what I have seen of clips is hysterical and would love to see it live.

I would love these tickets because I have wanted to be on Broadway my entire life, and I've never had the chance to see any Broadway show (considering I live thousands of miles away, you can see why). I am trying to convince my mom into taking a trip for the soul purpose of seeing Nick Jonas in H2$, and the free tickets would be great leverage. I also have loved the Jonas Brothers (especially Nick<3) since SOS in 2006. I've only seen them once on stage (World Tour 2009), and my #1 life goal is to meet Nick Jonas (I also want to smell him, because Kelly Rippa says he smells "delicous!"). My dad passed away in October to Hodgkin s, and he promised tickets to the JoBro's next tour, but unfortunatly, their tour didn't come soon enough. It would make my life to see two of the greatest things on earth (Broadway and Nick), and to remember my father all in one night!

oooh, i wanna win! i've heard so many great things about this show, and i'd take the boyfriend to continue to convince him that theater is fab. it's taking a few shows, but maybe someday i'll change his mind :)

Following. My email is 'Cmcannaday@gmail.com'.I want to see this show because I am a huge musical fan, I've never been to Broadway, and this sounds like an interesting show to see! It helps that Nick Jonas is going to be playing the male lead. It just looks like THE THING to do in my spare time.Who would I bring along? My close friend Amanda. She isn't a huge Nick Jonas fan, unlike me, but a Joe Jonas fan, and she is just PERFECT to bring along because she's been to New York. She can help navigate. I hope.

I am now following you on Twitter and I have 'tweeted' about this event. https://twitter.com/#!/Kit_Kat_Cay I shall mention now that I rarely use 'Twitter' so I don't know how to do.............. ANYTHING on there really. Just the basics.

Hi, I'm following you here and on twitter :) I want to go watch HTSIB because i never saw a BRoadway show and i'll fly all the way from France for it !! (We are going to NY in June) I'll go with my best Sandrine who is also a fan of Nick JOnas like me :)

Here's the way i promoted this contest : https://t.co/gkdxHx9k :)and I Rted your tweet :)

I want to see the show because it has gotten wonderful reviews and I think I would enjoy it. I would bring my daughter with me if I won because we don't get to spend much time together and this would be a great excuse to do so!

I followed this blog and followed you on twitterI also tweeted about it: https://twitter.com/#!/

I wanna go because I am a huge Nick Jonas fan, and I have been for a while! My mom says we don't have the money to buy tickets AND travel there from Nashville, so winning tickets would be so awesome! It would be a dream come true to see the show and possibly meet him. I would take one of my friends, who has always dreamed of going to New York.

I have been a huge Nick Jonas fan for a long time now. I am so proud of what he has done. I also love musical theater so much. I was very involved with my theater program when I was in high school. I have been to New York two times and saw a couple of Broadway plays. I would love to have the chance to see Nick in How to Succeed. It would mean the world to me. I would take my best friend with me to see him. I followed in both places and tweeted about the eventhttps://twitter.com/#!/ashleyclairee/status/164545680596144129

I wasn't so crazy about Nick Jonas at first, but then I saw him play Marius in the 25th anniversary of Les Miserables and I fell in love with him! I underestimated his potential! I saw the show with Dan Radcliffe, and I'd like to see Nick's interpretation of Finch. I've watched pretty much all the videos of Nick singing, and they all seem fantastic. Also, Michael Urie seems to be pretty talented as well, and I think he would be funny as Bud Frump! When I went to go see the show with Dan, Rosemary was being played by the understudy, but I've listened to Rose Hemingway on the soundtrack and I really want to hear her live. She's so cute!If I were to win these tickets I would definitely take my best friend Kelsey with me. We've seen so many broadway shows together like Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Godspell, and of course How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with Daniel Radcliffe. We are both big Nick Jonas fans and this opportunity would mean so much to us.

I now follow you on your blog which is amazing! I love nick Jonas and hope to see is show! I have been to as much as I can with him! He shows me so much inspiration and without me I don't know what I do with out him! I also am a huge broadway fan! It's amazing and I hope I get to see this show!

My email is joejonasfan28@yahoo.com and I am following this blog. The reason I want these tickets is because its been my dream since 2007 to meet one of the JoBros and all of them if I can. Its a big deal to be on broadway and honestly I have been waiting to see a show for awhile and I just really really want to see this show. Plus if I do win I get to see Nick Jonas dance and I dont know how good he will be but I would really love to see how good Nick is!!:)

Well in my comment I didnt post who I would bring but I would bring my sister because she is a huge Jonas Brothers fan and when she gets close to meeting Nick she never does. Plus like me she really wants to go see a broadway show. So if I win this I will take her for sure. And she has been there in my life from the ups and downs so this would be the best gift ever to her from me!!;) Twitter name is @LilLaiLai

I would love to see this show because well first and foremost, I am a huge Jonas fan. I have supported Nick since day 1 and will be there until the very end. To be able to see one of my idols living out one of his many dreams on Broadway would be such an amazing experience. I would bring my best friend, Leo. He is just a big a fan of Nick as I am. I wouldn't want to see the show with anyone other than my bff by my side :)

I would love to see this show for a few reasons: 1. I am OBSESSED with the show. I've seen it 3 times already! 2. I am a HUGE fan of Nick Jonas! 3. I would take one of my best friends who hasn't ever seen the show and LOVES Nick!

2) If I would win this I would take my younger sister to the show. My sister and I are the biggest Jonas fans and we have never met one of the boys (we did saw them in concert but never really met them). We really wanted to visit NY just to see the show (for Nick ofcourse) but our parents didn't want to pay the tickets for the show cause they're not really cheap. So we cancelled our plans. So if I could win this I would be soooooo honored to see the show. I'm soooo excited and maybe this way we can still continue our trip to NY :)

I want to win tickets to see Nick Jonas in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying because I love Broadway but unfortunately can't afford to buy tickets. I've been a big Jonas Brothers fan for years and Nick has always been my favorite. If I won, I'd bring my mom so we can enjoy a fun day in the city seeing my favorite singer! :)
